Introducing the Katie Barnes nail tools range
New and exclusive to Ellisons
We’re excited to welcome the Katie Barnes nail tools range to the Ellisons family - a collection of innovative, high-performance nail tools created by industry expert and educator, Katie Barnes.
Designed by a nail professional, for nail professionals, Katie Barnes nail tools combine precision engineering with practical design to support both new and experienced techs with every service. From award-winning electric nail files to expertly crafted cuticle scissors, e-file bits, nail files, and LED nail desk lights, this range has quickly become a must-have across nail salons and training academies alike.
A partnership built on shared history
This new partnership holds special meaning - not just for us at Ellisons, but for Katie herself. As a Midlands-based nail tech, Katie began her career shopping with Ellisons and completing many of her first training courses through us. When she owned her salon, Ellisons was her trusted wholesaler and, like many of our customers today, she often searched for quality tools that could support her growing skills.
Seventeen years ago, professional nail file options were limited, which makes it especially meaningful that Katie’s own branded nail files are now stocked right here - a dream come full circle.
